Medicinal Benefits:
Mefanorm Suspension belongs to a group of medicines called NSAIDs (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs) indicated for the symptomatic treatment of fever in children above six months. It is also useful for the relief of mild to moderate pain in children. Mefanorm Suspension contains 'Mefenamic acid', which works by inhibiting the cyclooxygenase enzyme, which is responsible for the formation of prostaglandins. Thus, Mefanorm Suspension helps relieve fever and pain.
Mefanorm Suspension works by blocking the chemical messengers responsible for pain and fever. Thus, Mefanorm Suspension provides relief from pain and fever.
Mefanorm Suspension should be used as prescribed, for the shortest time and lowest possible dose needed. Avoid using it for longer durations unless prescribed by the doctor.
Mefanorm Suspension may prolong prothrombin time (time taken for the blood to clot). Therefore, frequent monitoring of prothrombin time is required if Mefanorm Suspension is given to children taking oral anticoagulants.
